Creating New Worlds

In my first book the main character of the story (Ceri) ends up in a strange new world. Along with creating the story and characters building a new world was one of the best things ever. As I have said in other posts I do not outline my story, but create it in my head and then write it down on my computer, and in this way I go back and forth as the story is created and fill in and subtract parts as the story evolves. (and yes I know for all those professionals out there and my writing teachers not the way to write a story.)

Now in my second story the main character is back home here in Bellingham, WA. You think you know someplace that you have lived in for a looooooooooong time, (sorry big city boy stuck in small town,) until you have to write about it and describe it. But the good thing is there as been several outside side trips with this book to make sure that I am accurate with the area I am writing about. So hey at least I get out from behind the computer for research, right?
